Many will be familiar with the following, not only from my earlier posts but from a number of books, including "Tears in Heaven" by Ian Ross Vayro, and "Christ - The Horus Egyptian Connection" by Acharya.
The World has known about the Birth Scenes for more than a century, when Gerald Massey included them in his book, "Ancient Egypt - Light of the World" published in 1907.
The video clip showing Hawass pointing to a stone bearing hieroglyphs and reading them out as 'ISIS-MARY' is no longer accessible on Youtube. I have little doubt that this has been removed due to pressure from religious cults.
'Isis' is a Greek name for the Egyptian Goddess @st. The @ sign represents here the glottal stop. So her name would sound like 'Ahst' or 'Uhst'. The final 't' is the Egyptian feminine suffix, like 'ette' in English and French. The Greeks merely changed it for there own ending, 'IS'.
Whilst it is thought that Hathor and Isis were at one time two different goddesses, they merged into one with the Greeks:
From "Ancient Egypt" by Lorna Oaks and Lucia Gahlin, page 174:
"Hathor was honoured with a shrine at Philae, the main sanctuary of Isis, just as Isis was worshipped at Hathor's cult centre, Denderah.
In later ancient Egyptian history, the two deities were often regarded as one because they were both principally mother goddesses. From the New Kingdom (c.1550-c.1069 BC), both were depicted wearing the same headdress - a pair of cow's horns with a sun disc between them.
The two goddesses often look so much alike that it is difficult to tell them apart if there are no hieroglyphs to distinguish them. Where there are, Isis is identified by a small throne and Hathor by a square containing Horus as a falcon."
Malcolm: The video glyphs are easy to read (if and when the clip is restored to the Internet). When Hawass (?) points to the THRONE glyph and says, ISIS, he is absolutely right. The glyph for ISIS is the throne glyph - but often followed by a determinative Goddess glyph. Also there is no mistaking the rectangular glyph which we know from the Demotic script also on the Rosetta stone, means MERI - BELOVED.
However we should really be more concerned with the connection of MARY - the Egyptian MERI to the story told in Luke. The fact that the name is used in the same story can not be a coincidence.
Here then is the story told in the Temples of Luxor and Denderah with scenes and translation told by Massey:
The Annunciation, Conception, Birth And Adoration.
Gerald Massey 1907.
Before it could be for the first time understood, the story outlined so elusively in the canonical Gospels had to be retold in accordance with the astronomical mythology, and more especially in terms of the Osirian eschatology. The legend was so ancient in Egypt that in the time of Amen-hetep, a Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, it was humanly applied to his child and to his consort Mut-em-Ua in the character of the divine woman, the mother who, like Neith, was ever-virgin. A passage and a picture from the “Natural Genesis” (vol. II, p. 398) may be repeated here. The story of the Annunciation, the miraculous conception (or incarnation), the birth and the adoration of the Messianic infant had already been engraved in stone and represented in four consecutive scenes upon the innermost walls of the holy of holies (the Meskhen) in the temple of Luxor (which was built by Amen-hetep III. about 1700 B.C., or some seventeen centuries before the events depicted are commonly supposed to have taken place.
Malcolm: Massey is wrong here. We now know that YmnHtp III reigned for nearly 40 years circa 1378BCE to 1339BCE. His name in Semite was SalimAmen whom we know as King Solomon whom the Bible says reigned for 40 years.
In these scenes the maiden queen Mut-em-Ua, the mother of Amen-hetep, her future child, impersonates the virgin-mother, who conceived and brought forth without the fatherhood.
The first scene on the left hand shows the god Taht, as divine word or logos, in the act of hailing the virgin queen and announcing to her that she is to give birth to the coming son. (That is, to bring forth the royal Repa in the character of Horus or Aten, the divine heir.)
Malcolm: Horus was the Greek name for HR. No vowels were written in Egyptian, so we can only guess at Har, Hor, or Hur. In his role as the Ever Coming Son whose spirit lived in the Kings, he was known as IWSA, who was IESOUS to the Greeks, AND IOSA in the Gaelic Bible.
